Ottawa Redblacks lose both starting cornerbacks for rematch with Hamilton
By 3Down Staff -July 19, 2025

The injury situation in the Ottawa Redblacks' secondary has gone from bad to worse ahead of their rematch with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday.

Field-side cornerback Adrian Frye has officially been placed on the six-game injured list after missing practice this week with a shoulder issue, while his counterpart to the boundary, C.J. Coldon, has gone on the one-game injured list with an ankle issue. Frye has amassed 14 defensive tackles and three forced fumbles in five games, while Coldon had recorded 22 defensive tackles and two interceptions in six appearances.

Alijah McGhee will slot in at the boundary after dressing as a backup last week. Deandre Lamont, who racked up 86 defensive tackles, five special teams tackles, and one interception in 2024, will make his season debut to the field after recovering from a hamstring injury. Veteran Canadian safety Justin Howell is also returns as insurance, sending rookie Eric Cumberbatch to the practice roster.

The team has made two other significant changes to their starting lineup. Canadian Lucas Cormier, who was reinserted into the lineup last week, has leapfrogged American Ace Eley at weakside linebacker. On the other side of the ball, American rookie Parker Moorer draws back in and will get the start at right guard, sending Canadian veteran Dariusz Bladek to the bench. In corresponding moves, linebacker Dawson Pierre will dress for depth and offensive lineman Dayton Black was demoted to the practice roster.

Ottawa has lost both of their incumbent Global players to the one-game injured list in defensive tackle Blessman Ta'ala (ankle) and linebacker Tyron Vrede (ankle). Japanese linebacker Les Maruo will dress to fill the requirement. Canadian defensive tackle Muftah Ageli is also back in the rotation, with American defensive end Chase McGowan (groin) sitting out this week. Rookie American receiver Easop Winston Jr. will make his CFL debut for added depth with Kalil Pimpleton pulling double duty as a returner.

The Ottawa Redblacks (1-5) will host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (3-2) at TD Place Stadium on Sunday, July 20 with kickoff slated for 7:00 p.m. EDT. These two teams played last week in Hamilton where the Tiger-Cats recorded a 23-20 win.

The weather forecast calls for a high of 24 degrees and a 10 percent chance of showers. The game will be broadcast on TSN and RDS in Canada and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on the Ticats Audio Network in Hamilton and TSN 1200 in Ottawa.

Second-round rookie Isaiah Bagnah out for Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Ottawa
By 3Down Staff -July 19, 2025

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will have a mostly intact roster for their rematch with the Ottawa Redblacks on Sunday, save for rookie Canadian defensive lineman Isaiah Bagnah.

The team's second-round pick in the 2025 CFL Draft has been placed on the one-game injured list after missing the last two practices of the week with a foot issue. The native of Lethbridge, Alta. has recorded four defensive tackles and one sack in five appearances with the team.

Bagnah spent the last two seasons at Brigham Young University, compiling 52 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, a forced fumble and three pass breakups in 25 games for the Cougars. He previously attended Boise State University for four seasons, where he made 58 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, and a forced fumble in 25 appearances.

Canadian offensive lineman Jakub Szott will draw into the lineup to fulfill the ratio requirement. The only other change to the Ticats roster is a swap of third-string quarterbacks, with Harrison Frost becoming a healthy scratch in order to allow veteran Jake Dolegala to dress.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (3-2) will visit the Ottawa Redblacks (1-5) at TD Place Stadium on Sunday, July 20 with kickoff slated for 7:00 p.m. EDT. These two teams played last week in Hamilton where the Tiger-Cats recorded a 23-20 win.

The weather forecast calls for a high of 24 degrees and a 10 percent chance of showers. The game will be broadcast on TSN and RDS in Canada and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on the Ticats Audio Network in Hamilton and TSN 1200 in Ottawa.

Les Maruo nice ST tackle, who said globals don't make an impact? Lol

Moxie hurt for Cats, starting corner

Better start for JA27

Ottawa lost two DL already

Leggs money 28 in row, pretty nice run for a guy that many on here completely wrote off

Moxie back

Fox starting for Cats on DL

Why would Ottawa challenge to gain 10 yards?

Why would Ottawa challenge to gain 10 yards?

Because they were right

[Blueforlife]

Nice pick, Brown throwing too many ducks

[gobombersgo]

Because they were right

But they used up one of their challenges.

I guess they wanna take any win they can.

Don't use up a challenge when you win it
Sick catch Kenny, he is earning his cake 100%

[Pete]

watching Kenny must be making Zac sick and it isnt the concussion

You don't lose the time out but you lose the opportunity to possibly challenge later.

You get max 2 challenges a game.

[Pete]

Coaches are permitted to challenge certain rulings by throwing their challenge flag.

Each team has 1 challenge, should their challenge be successful they retain their challenge to use later in the game. But your right they can only challenge twice even if successful which seems dumb

I thought if you won the challenge you retained the challenge. No?

Yeah, that's weird. I guess they don't want the coaches winning a half dozen challenges each per game making the officials look incompetent.
